Want healthy, shiny hair that turns heads (and lasts between appointments)? It all comes down to consistency—and the right products.
At NOVA STRANDS Salon in Wilsonville, Oregon, we keep our aftercare recommendations simple but powerful. Here’s the haircare routine we swear by to protect your investment and keep your strands thriving.
1. Start with a gentle, sulfate-free cleanse.
Your scalp and extensions deserve a fresh, healthy foundation. We always recommend a luxe, sulfate-free shampoo that maintains moisture while removing buildup.
Try: Oribe Gold Lust Repair & Restore Shampoo — A rich, reparative formula that cleanses delicately and brings damaged hair back to life.
2. Deep condition for shine and strength.
Hydration is key—especially for blended extension hair. Condition every time you wash to keep your hair looking silky, soft, and nourished.
Try: Oribe Gold Lust Conditioner — Restores softness, improves manageability, and gives your hair that next-level shine.
3. Don’t skip the leave-in.
Leave-ins are your styling sidekick. They provide moisture, detangle, and offer a layer of protection between washes.
Try: Oribe Supershine Moisturizing Cream — A silky finishing cream that smooths, adds shine, and tames frizz without weighing you down.
4. Protect before you style.
Styling without protection? That’s a no from us. Always apply heat protection before blow drying or hot-tooling.
Try: Oribe Royal Blowout Heat Styling Spray — Cuts dry time, adds amazing shine, and defends your hair against heat damage.
5. Brush with intention.
Use an extension-safe brush and always start detangling at the ends, working your way up. Don’t tug—be gentle!
Bonus Tips:
- Sleep in a loose braid or ponytail.
- Swap to a silk pillowcase for frizz control.
- Never go to bed with damp hair or wet wefts
With the right care, your extensions will stay smooth, soft, and totally envy-worthy—week after week. And don’t worry, we’ll walk you through it all at your appointment.
